It seems like just a short while ago augmented reality eyewear seemed like a thing of the distant future. There is now a growing market including Magic Leap , Epson, Nreal , ThirdEye , and now Norm. However, of those listed above, Epson and ThirdEye are intended for industry rather than the consumer market. Magic Leap has some entertainment experiences, but the price and size make them more of a tool.

Is Virtual Reality a growing market segment or a flash in the pan? VR didn't do as well in 2018 as many hoped - or expected Click To Tweet. Back in 2012, a starry-eyed young entrepreneur called Palmer Luckey announced a new and improved head-mounted display that would be better than pretty much everything on the market at the time, and affordable for gamers to boot.

HTC took another step towards launch of its upcoming PC VR headset, Vive Cosmos, by quietly releasing three ‘reveal’ videos featuring some of the system’s claims to fame. While it’s positive to see that they’ve locked down the headset and controllers’ design, we’re still no closer to understanding some important details about the headset though—namely price and exact release date—however it could signal that HTC is finally getting ready to let the cat ou

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

With HoloLens 2 (hopefully) just around the corner, Microsoft has announced that it will no longer be providing any major operating system updates to the original HoloLens. The HoloLens 1 was released back in 2016, which feels a bit like ancient history in the ever-evolving world of spatial computing. Ever since the HoloLens 2 announcement earlier this year (though it's still only available for pre-order), the HoloLens 1's days were numbered.

One growing avenue of virtual reality (VR) entertainment is live performances. That’s not live coverage of sporting events which have been around for a little while, we’re talking about watching a musician perform live. This can come in several forms from 360-degree video to interactive virtual environments such as those being developed by RedPill VR at its Social Virtual Reality (SVR) platform or TheWaveVR.

Step into a painstakingly-crafted recreation of a historic masterpiece. In 1508, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, a sculptor by trade, was forced against his will by Pope Julius II to paint the ceiling of the legendary Sistine Chapel, a location within the holy Vatican City where new Popes are selected. Despite his hesitation towards taking on such a daunting task—Michelangelo was experienced with a chisel, not a brush—the reluctant artist would end up painting what is tod

XR technologies are undeniably a leap forward in humankind’s mechanical evolution. But our brains – the way they work – haven’t quite evolved in pace with them, so XR solutions are hardly solutions at all unless they work within the confines of how we think and react. Alex Haque of LumiereVR waxes philosophical about how to design XR with that in mind.
